Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a process for semiconductor devices, and more particularly to a method of forming a carbon-containing epitaxial layer. [Prior Art]
隨著小型電晶體的生產,超淺源/汲極接面的製造變得 更具挑戰性。一般而言,次100奈米(sub-100 nm)的互補 性金屬氧化物半導體(Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor ; CMOS)元件,所要求的接面深度需小於 3 Onm。含矽材料(例如矽、矽鍺或碳化矽)之磊晶層,常利 用選擇性的磊晶沉積(selective epitaxial deposition),形成 於接面中。一般而言’選擇性磊晶沉積能夠讓磊晶長在矽 溝(silicon moats)上,而非長在介電區上。選擇性磊晶可用 於半導體元件’例如提高源/没極、源/汲極延展、接觸插 塞或雙極性元件的基層沉積。With the production of small transistors, the fabrication of ultra-shallow source/drain junctions has become more challenging. In general, a sub-100 nm Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) component requires a junction depth of less than 3 Onm. Epitaxial layers of germanium-containing materials, such as tantalum, niobium or tantalum carbide, are often formed in the joint by selective epitaxial deposition. In general, selective epitaxial deposition allows the epitaxial growth to be on the silicon moats rather than on the dielectric regions. Selective epitaxy can be used for semiconductor components such as source/drain, source/dip extension, contact plug or base layer deposition of bipolar components.
-一般而言,選擇性磊晶製程牵涉到沉積反應與钱刻反 應。沉積反應與钱刻反應係同時發生,但對於蟲晶層與多 晶質層則具有不同的反應速率。於沉積的過程中,遙晶層 係形成於一單晶梦層表面,而多晶質層則沉積於至少第二 層上’例如多晶質層及/或非晶質層。然而,所沉積的多晶 質層其蝕刻速率通常較磊晶層快。因此,藉由改變蝕刻氣 趙的濃度’淨選擇製程的結果為磊晶材料的沉積,同時限 制了或並無多晶質材料的沉積。舉例而言,選擇性磊晶製 5 1379347 程會在單晶矽表面上形 上無任何沉積》 成•含秒材料之磊晶層 而於間隙壁 在形成提同源/及極與源/汲極延展之特徵時例如在 形成含梦之金氧半場效電晶體 (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor , M〇SFET)元件時,含矽材料之選擇性遙晶沉積技術具有相 當助益。源/淡極延展的製造方式,係先蝕刻梦表面以製造 出嵌壁式的源/汲極,再利用選擇性成長的磊晶層,例如矽 鍺材料,填入蝕刻後的表面。選擇性磊晶能以内摻雜 (in-situ doping)近乎完全的摻雜活化(d〇pant activati〇n), 進而省略後續的回火製程。目此,可藉由矽蝕刻與選擇性 磊晶準確地定義出接面深度。另—方面,超淺源/汲極無可 避免地會導致串聯電阻的增加。此外,在形成矽化物過程 中的接面消耗(junction consumption),會進一步地提高串 聯電阻。為了彌補接面消耗,於接面上磊晶地且選擇性地 成長提高的源/及極。一般而言,提高的源/汲極層為未摻 雜矽-0 .一 k _ ·. 然而’現有選擇性磊晶製程具有某些缺點。為了在現 7的遙晶製程中維持選擇性,因此前驅物的化學濃度以及 反應溫度必須在沉積過程中全程控管與調整。若未提供足 夠的守前驅物,钱刻反應則會居於主要,並延滞整個製程。 此外’亦可能產生對基材有害的過度蝕刻。若未提供足夠 的蝕刻前驅物,沉積反應則會居於主要,降低在基材表面 形成單晶矽與多晶質材料的選擇性。另外,現今選擇性磊 6 1379347- In general, selective epitaxial processes involve deposition reactions and money-reactions. The deposition reaction occurs simultaneously with the engraved reaction, but has a different reaction rate for the worm layer and the polycrystalline layer. During the deposition process, the telecrystalline layer is formed on the surface of a single crystal dream layer, and the polycrystalline layer is deposited on at least the second layer 'e.g., a polycrystalline layer and/or an amorphous layer. However, the deposited polycrystalline layer typically has a faster etch rate than the epitaxial layer. Therefore, the result of the net selection process by changing the concentration of the etching gas is the deposition of the epitaxial material while limiting or not depositing the polycrystalline material. For example, the selective epitaxial process 5 1379347 will be formed on the surface of the single crystal germanium without any deposition. The epitaxial layer containing the second material is formed in the spacer and the source and source are The characteristics of the extremely extended, for example, in the formation of a Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (M〇SFET) component, the selective crystal deposition technique of the germanium-containing material is quite helpful. The source/light pole extension is fabricated by first etching the dream surface to create a recessed source/drain, and then filling the etched surface with a selectively grown epitaxial layer, such as a tantalum material. Selective epitaxy can be activated by in-situ doping near-complete doping (d〇pant activati〇n), thereby omitting subsequent tempering processes. For this reason, the junction depth can be accurately defined by erbium etching and selective epitaxy. On the other hand, ultra-shallow source/bungee inevitably leads to an increase in series resistance. In addition, the junction consumption during the formation of the telluride further increases the series resistance. In order to compensate for the joint consumption, the source/pole is raised and selectively grown on the junction. In general, the increased source/drain layer is undoped 矽-0. a k _ ·. However, the existing selective epitaxial process has certain disadvantages. In order to maintain selectivity in the current 7 remote crystal process, the chemical concentration of the precursor and the reaction temperature must be controlled and adjusted throughout the deposition process. If a sufficient pre-existing drive is not provided, the money response will be dominant and the entire process will be delayed. In addition, excessive etching that is harmful to the substrate may also occur. If sufficient etching precursor is not provided, the deposition reaction will be dominant, reducing the selectivity of forming single crystal germanium and polycrystalline material on the surface of the substrate. In addition, nowadays selective Lei 6 1379347

In addition, some insect crystal films and/or processes tend to be trapped, such as pits or surface roughness in the film. Therefore, a process requiring selective and insect compounds is still to be developed. Further, at a rapid deposition rate and, for example, about 800 ° C or lower, the process needs to be compatible with each of the ruthenium-containing compounds. Finally, this process should produce low defects <such as fewer pits, faults, roughness, point defects, etc.).

The method comprises: (1) determining a desired carbon concentration of the epitaxial layer stack; (2) forming the epitaxial layer stack by (a) forming a carbon-containing epitaxial layer on the substrate; b) forming a non-carbonaceous coating layer on the carbon-containing epitaxial layer. A thickness of one of the carbon-containing epitaxial layers is selected in accordance with the desired carbon concentration of the epitaxial layer stack. A variety of other aspects are also provided. Other features and aspects of the present invention will become more apparent from the embodiments described herein, the appended claims. [Embodiment] On a tantalum substrate patterned with a dielectric film, the process of selective epitaxial growth is performed only on the exposed tantalum surface (e.g., not on the dielectric surface) of the single crystal semiconductor. The process of selective worm growth can include simultaneous etching-/child process or gas alternate supply process. In the simultaneous etching/division process, both the etchant and the deposit flow simultaneously. Accordingly, deposition and etching occur simultaneously in the process of forming the epitaxial layer. Conversely, in the attached U.S. Patent Application (Application No. U/〇01'774 'Application Date December 1, 2004, Agent Case No. 9618), it is described that the gas is supplied alternately. , AGS) in the process of forming an epitaxial layer on the substrate in the process ags, the substrate is first polished, the enthalpy is formed, and then the etching process is performed on the substrate. The cycle of the etching process continues to be repeated until the desired thickness of the epitaxial layer is formed. The process of entanglement may include exposing the surface of the substrate to at least one source and

The deposition gas may also contain a source of germanium and/or carbon or a source of miscellaneous impurities. Common dopants can include arsenic, boron, phosphorus, antimony, gallium, aluminum, and other elements.
在沉積過程中’當多晶質層形成於第二層表面上時, 例如非晶質及/或多晶質表面,磊晶層係形成於基材的單晶 質表面。接著’將基材暴露在蝕刻氣體中。此蝕刻氣體包 含一載流氣趙與一钱刻劑。蝕刻氣體移除在沉積過程中沉 積的含梦材料。在蝕刻過程中,多晶質層的移除速率則快 過蟲晶層。因此’沉積與蝕刻製程的淨結果會造成在單晶 質表面上形成轰晶成長含矽材料,而在第二表面上的多晶 質含梦材-料’若有成長的話則可降到最低。用來沉積含.梦, 材料之示例包含妙、梦錯(silic〇n gerrnanium)、碳化破 (silicon carbon)、梦錯碳germanium carbon)' 其各 式摻雜物與類似者。During the deposition process, when a polycrystalline layer is formed on the surface of the second layer, such as an amorphous and/or polycrystalline surface, an epitaxial layer is formed on the surface of the single crystal of the substrate. The substrate is then exposed to an etching gas. The etching gas contains a carrier gas and a money engraving agent. The etching gas removes the dream material that is deposited during the deposition process. During the etching process, the polycrystalline layer is removed faster than the insect layer. Therefore, the net result of the deposition and etching process will result in the formation of a swelled growth-containing yttrium material on the surface of the single crystal, while the polycrystalline ambiguous material on the second surface will be minimized if grown. . For the deposition of dreams, examples of materials include silic〇n gerrnanium, silicon carbon, germanium carbon's various dopants and the like.
習知之碳蟲晶膜的形成過程乃利用氫氣、氣化氫與矽 源’例如二氣矽烷(dichi〇roSiiane),在基材溫度高於約7〇〇 ec下反應(例如解離氣化氫及/或矽源)。―為了降低磊晶…膜的 形成溫度’可採用氣氣取代氯化氫(氣化氫),這是由於氣 氣在較低溫度下(例如約600 °C或以下)可更有效地解離。 由於氫氣與氣氣不相容,因此可採用除了氫氣以外的載流 氣體以與氣氣一同使用,例如氮氣。同樣地,亦可使用具 有較低解離溫度的矽源(例如矽烷(silane ’ SiH4)、二梦乙 烷(disilane,Si2H6)等)。 使用氣氣作為矽磊晶膜形成過程的蝕刻氣體,可能會 9 347 導致較差的硬蟲晶膜表面形態。儘管不希望受限於任何特 定的理論,但氯氣被認為會激烈地侵害矽磊晶膜表面,造 成坑洞或類似者。且已發現當矽磊晶膜含有碳時,使用氣 氣會造成特定的問題。 本發明係提供一種在矽磊晶膜形成過程中,使用氯氣 作為钱刻氣體之方法,以改善磊晶膜表面形態。舉例而言, 本發明可與美國專利申請號n/〇〇 1 774(申請曰2〇〇4年12 月1日’代理人索號9618)中,所述的氣體交替供應製程 一併使用。 於部份實施例中,在一蝕刻相中’在暴露於氣氣之前, 可先將含碳梦遙晶膜埋覆(encapSulate.d)。舉例而.言一r.可-藉 由不以碳源所形成的矽磊晶膜(即,不含碳矽磊晶膜),來 埋覆含碳矽磊晶膜。 依據一實施例所示,於下文中將描述本發明之含碳矽 蟲晶層堆疊的形成以及所採用的AGS製程,請一併參照第 1 A-1D圖。參照第i a圖,其繪示基材100的剖面圖,其 中一種磊晶層--1 0 2 (例如=,矽磊晶層)係形成於基材1 〇 〇上。 於部份實施例中,可將種磊晶層i 〇2移除。 為了形成種磊晶層102,可將基材100置於一處理室 中’並加熱基材及/或製程溫度◎雖然亦可使用其他磊晶膜 處理室及/或系統’但示例中的磊晶膜處理室可由位於加州The formation process of the conventional carbon worm crystal film is carried out by using hydrogen, vaporized hydrogen and a hydrazine source such as diki〇roSiiane at a substrate temperature higher than about 7 〇〇ec (for example, dissociating hydrogen sulfide and / or source). ―In order to reduce the epitaxial film formation temperature, gas can be used instead of hydrogen chloride (hydrogenated hydrogen) because the gas can be more effectively dissociated at a lower temperature (for example, about 600 ° C or below). Since hydrogen is incompatible with gas, a carrier gas other than hydrogen can be used for use with the gas, such as nitrogen. Similarly, a helium source having a lower dissociation temperature (e.g., silane 'SiH4), disilane (Si2H6), or the like can also be used. The use of gas as the etching gas for the ruthenium epitaxial film formation process may result in a poor surface morphology of the hard worm film. Although not wishing to be bound by any particular theory, chlorine is believed to violently attack the surface of the ruthenium film, causing potholes or the like. It has been found that the use of air gas poses a particular problem when the germanium epitaxial film contains carbon. The present invention provides a method for using chlorine gas as a gas engraving gas during the formation of a germanium epitaxial film to improve the surface morphology of the epitaxial film. For example, the present invention can be used in conjunction with the gas alternate supply process described in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 1/774, filed on Dec. 1, 2004. In some embodiments, the carbon-containing dream crystal film is first encapsulated (encapSulate.d) before being exposed to the gas in an etched phase. For example, a rhodium-based epitaxial film formed by a carbon source (ie, without a carbon germanium epitaxial film) may be used to embed a carbon-containing germanium epitaxial film. According to an embodiment, the formation of the carbonaceous ruthenium crystal layer stack of the present invention and the AGS process employed will be described hereinafter. Please refer to Fig. 1A-1D together. Referring to Fig. aa, there is shown a cross-sectional view of a substrate 100 in which an epitaxial layer -1 0 2 (e.g., 矽, 矽 epitaxial layer) is formed on a substrate 1 〇 .
